Freshly Baked. Fully Backed.

Your Franchise Opportunity with New York Bagel Co.

Perfecting the Bagel Business for Over 30 Years

Are you ready to turn fresh ingredients and loyal customers into a lasting business?

New York Bagel Co. is a fast-growing café concept rooted in one thing: quality. Our scratch-made bagels, gourmet cream cheeses, and organic coffee have built a cult following across Massachusetts, and now, we’re sharing our recipe for success through franchising.

With six thriving locations and more on the way, our franchise model is optimized for scale, designed for simplicity, and powered by 30+ years of operational history. We’ve taken the guesswork out of ownership, so you can focus on delivering great food and building a local business that lasts.

Start strong with a franchise model that blends authenticity, efficiency, and unmatched local love.

Why New York Bagel Co?

A Fresh Take on Franchising

This isn’t just another bagel shop; it’s a proven concept with wide appeal and serious upside.

Over 30 Years of Brand Equity

Founded in 1989, our reputation is baked in. We’ve dialed in our product, process, and guest experience over decades of success.

Local Favorite, Franchise Ready

With six company-owned units and more expansion underway, our systems are refined, scalable, and ready for new markets.

Simple Operations with High Impact

Our business model is easy to operate and doesn’t require a huge team to run efficiently. It’s built for speed, consistency, and volume.

Multiple Revenue Streams Built In

Drive-thru, in-café retail, catering, and wholesale give you more ways to drive volume, expand local reach, and maximize the same kitchen and labor.

Premium Product That Stands Out

Guests drive across town for our bagels, cream cheeses, and signature “Iced Java.” Our product speaks for itself, and sells itself.

Is This the Right Fit for You?

You don’t need foodservice experience to thrive with New York Bagel Co.; you need hustle, heart, and the drive to build community. Our ideal franchisee is:

• Outgoing and customer-focused
• Confident leading a team and creating strong local relationships
• Organized and ready to handle inventory, scheduling, and day-to-day operations
• Comfortable working full-time in the business or hiring a manager who meets our standards

Whether you’re a family looking to build something together or an experienced operator seeking a new brand, we’re looking for franchisees who share our commitment to quality, consistency, and hospitality.
